Healing a Fallen S-Rank Beastman: Everyone Fights Over the Little Female-Chapter 82: Family

On the way back, Ares spoke up. "Vice Admiral Fred is really as decent as the rumors say."

"He is decent. A person like him would be a reliable friend." Lu Xiao agreed with Ares. After meeting him, she found that was indeed the case.

But their relationship could only be limited to friendship.

Nothing more.

Ares nodded, accepting Lu Xiao’s words. He didn’t try to persuade her to accept Vice Admiral Fred as her main husband.

He had said before that since Lu Xiao had clearly refused, it would be tactless of him to bring it up again.

Back home, Lu Xiao took the initiative to send a message to Admiral Clan: "My meeting with Vice Admiral Fred is over. He is indeed a good person, but I’m sticking to my original decision. I hope you can understand."

Admiral Clan replied with two words: "Got it."

Looking at those two words, Lu Xiao couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow. ’This Father of mine really is decisive and efficient.’

’Working with someone like this must be much simpler. If it works, it works. If not, then that’s that.’

It actually made her change her opinion of him a little.

As far as Lu Xiao was concerned, the matter with Vice Admiral Fred was completely over.

However, Fred, who had also just returned home, sent a message to Admiral Clan as well: "I’ve met with Lady Lu Xiao. She’s very special and very candid. Thank you for the introduction."

Admiral Clan’s reply to him was: "It’s up to you what you want to do."

Compared to Lu Xiao, Fred had a much better understanding of what kind of person Admiral Clan was. After all, they had worked together for many years. Fred wasn’t surprised by the reply. "I understand."

After Lu Xiao had clearly expressed her wishes to him regarding the meeting with Vice Admiral Fred, Admiral Clan had no intention of getting involved in their affairs any further.

For a matchmaking affair like this, the bridge had been built. Whether the two of them could walk it together was not something he could interfere with.

But compared to him, Lu Ge Wei was far more concerned with the result. She went so far as to come to the study to ask about it.

Admiral Clan looked at Lu Ge Wei, who stood in the middle of the study trying her best to maintain an elegant and dignified posture. "They will decide the outcome themselves. It has nothing to do with us."

"How does it have nothing to do with us? I’ve looked into Fred. He’s the eldest male of Duke Leslie’s family! A background like that is a good match for Lu Xiao, and he’s more than worthy of being her main husband. A candidate this suitable should be secured as soon as possible!"

"Just like you were?" Admiral Clan looked up, his narrow, phoenix-like eyes filled with nothing but cold indifference. "I didn’t introduce them because of Fred’s family background. What would you know about it!"

In this household, Admiral Clan was the only one who dared to speak to Lu Ge Wei like that.

"How dare you be so aggressive with me! Clan, I’m finding you more and more unruly. Have you forgotten who your female master is?"

Lu Ge Wei’s meticulously applied makeup seemed to crack and twist with her anger.

But Admiral Clan remained unmoved, merely watching her coldly. "Does it hurt? This is the result of you valuing family status so much!"

A single sentence stabbed right at Lu Ge Wei’s heart. If she hadn’t been so fixated on Duke Galli Odello’s background back then, she wouldn’t have to put up with Clan’s attitude now.

It was a topic Lu Ge Wei was most unwilling to bring up. But did she regret it? Of course not. Even if her marriage to Admiral Clan wasn’t harmonious, she had gained far too many benefits from it.

So much so that if she were given the chance to do it all over again, she would still make the same choice.

But this was the kind of thing that couldn’t be exposed.

Now that Clan had so bluntly ripped away her veil of decorum, how could Lu Ge Wei possibly stand for it?

"Clan, you don’t really think I wouldn’t dare to punish you, do you?"

Clan sneered. "You can try."

Lu Ge Wei’s heart sank. In truth, she didn’t dare. Don’t be fooled by the fact she dared to lay hands on the other side husbands and husbands in the family; that was only because they either had no background or their backgrounds were inferior to hers.

But to punish Clan would be tantamount to slapping Duke Galli Odello in the face.

The one she feared was never Clan, but the family behind him.

With a cold expression, Lu Ge Wei flung her sleeves and stormed out of the study.

Not long after she left, the lights in the courtyard came on. Someone suffered an undeserved calamity.

Clan sat behind his desk, recalling what Lu Xiao had said to him that day: "I just want to live a quiet and peaceful life. I don’t want to come home and have to manage interpersonal relationships and deal with jealous rivalries..." ’If a partner was the only one...’

At that thought, Clan suddenly paused. ’What am I thinking? I’m really being led astray by Lu Xiao.’

’How could there be a female in this world willing to spend her whole life with just one male!’

Even though Lu Xiao had said that, he hadn’t really taken it to heart. He just assumed that Lu Xiao was still young and her relationship with Ares was good for now, which was why she could say something so naive.

Once she met more and more males who were more outstanding than Ares, she would naturally start to make comparisons, and she would naturally abandon such a naive idea.

’Aren’t females just naturally vain like that!’

Lu Xiao had no idea that her affairs had triggered a major conflict between Clan and Lu Ge Wei.

The next morning, Lu Xiao went to work as usual.

When Teacher Ai Li and the others saw her, though, they all crowded around, curiously asking, "So? How did the guy from last night compare to Ares?"

Well, gossiping is human nature.

"He didn’t compare. My Ares is still the one who suits my heart best."

Seeing her like this, Teacher Ai Li said, "You really are no fun. I bet the male you met with is probably heartbroken."

Even they could see that Lu Xiao was an absolutely excellent marriage prospect.

To have the good fortune of becoming one of Lu Xiao’s males, regardless of status, would be an incredibly lucky thing.

Because Lu Xiao understood the meaning of respect.

But such a good female wasn’t promiscuous; she was loyal only to her side husband.

Even they were getting a little jealous of Ares now.

If the Empire had an "Annual Luckiest and Happiest Male" award, it would definitely have to be given to Ares!

A truly deserving lucky dog!

"Sigh, if only the person Morian met had been a female master like Lu Xiao!" Teacher Sherry, who had obviously just finished reading the latest updated Chapter, couldn’t help but exclaim.

In the latest Chapter of *After the Main Husband Runaway*: "Morian had just received the punishment for the divorce. It was only in that moment that Belle truly realized Morian hadn’t just been making empty threats. At the same time, she also learned that Morian came from the Valenda Family, one of the Empire’s financial magnates.

Belle, who had been widely mocked for divorcing Morian, only understood what she had lost the moment the Valenda Family sent people to bring Morian home. At the same time, the gazes of those around her became even more derisive..."

After this Chapter was posted, the comment section was filled with celebrating readers—

"So satisfying! This is the kind of book we males should be reading!"

"I never read novels because it’s always us males who have to compromise, as if we’re some kind of trash that can be treated however they want!"

"Morian may have been punished for the divorce, but he gained his freedom! I’m proud of his courage!"

"HAHAHA, I’m dying of laughter! Belle, you’re such an idiot, aren’t you? Weren’t you the most vain of all? Not only did you lose Morian’s love, but you also lost wealth and glory! The author wrote this so well, I recommend posting 10 more Chapters~"
